Seattle Salsa Dance Events: AFRO-BRAZILIAN DANCE CLASS

AFRO-BRAZILIAN DANCE – BEGINNER LEVEL

Come celebrate Afro-Brazilian rhythm and dance in this fun and energetic class!
Learn dances that draw from the rich cultural traditions of Bahia and Northeast Brazil, including Afro, Samba Reggae, Samba de Roda, Dances of the Orixas, Forro and Carnaval/Street dances. The cultural context and history behind these dances are also integrated into class.

Our beginner class introduces basic Afro-Brazilian movement, starting with a warm-up that emphasizes stretching, strengthening and breathing. You’ll then learn basic movements, movement sequences, and simple choreography working individually, in pairs and in groups. Each class concludes with a cool-down session.

A diverse selection of the enchanting rhythms and music from Brazil accompanies you throughout class. You’ll learn how to recognize the rhythms specific to each dance. This blend of vibrant Brazilian rhythms and movement leaves your body invigorated and your spirit refreshed!

Class is taught both in Portuguese and English.
